I was watching UP (Chris hays) this morning and every liberal at the table was going nuts at the idea Obama was looking like he would compromise at 37% and raise the medicare age to 67. Both are crazy ideas. I feel the same way. If Obama betrays us and does that, I hope the liberals and dems in congress make his life hell and refuse to vote for it. And anyone who goes along with that is targeted for a primary by the liberals this time.

And I know the congressional Black caucus is with the liberals on this issue. So we have a clear path to stop it. And the liberals this morning said we must spread the word.

The other thing I do not understand is why Obama gave away his use of the 14th amendment for raising the debt ceiling i.e. doing it by executive action and letting the courts sort it out. Clinton told him to do that last time and he didn't and we got downgraded by Moody's and lost 18 billion in interest payments. Another one of Obama's brilliant strategies I don't understand.

When will Obama learn he has to fight the right wing, not compromise with them when he has the upper hand.
